Abstract
The concomitant presence of a thoracic aortic aneurysm and an abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients considered for renal transplantation is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of the successful treatment of multilevel aortic aneurysms together with renal transplantation. The treatment modalities in renal transplant patients with concomitant aortic aneurysms are discussed.
